For anyone that is interested, here is a summary of the South Bend TV stations owned by the two companies:

Schurz Communications
WSBT-TV (full power digital)
Display Channel 22 / Actual Channel 22 (was 30)
22-1 CBS
22-2 SBT2 (Independent)
22-3 Weather

Weigel Broadcasting
WCWW-LD (low-power digital)
Display Channel 25 / Actual Channel 27
25-1 The CW
WBND-LD (low-power digital))
Display Channel 57 / Actual Channel 49
57-1 ABC
WMYS-LD (low-power digital)
Display Channel 69 / Actual Channel 23
69-1 MyNetworkTV, MeTV

Also, Weigel's low-power analog channels for the 3 respective stations listed above are still on the air (because they are not required to stop broadcasting):
Channel 25 WCWW-LP The CW
Channel 57 WBND-LP ABC
Channel 69 WMYS-LP MyNetwork TV, MeTV (application to move to analog Channel 34 because channel numbers 52-69 will be out-of-core)

Oddly, 'this TV', which is partly-owned by Weigel, airs on the digital sub-channel of an unrelated station, a Fox affiliate owned by Quincy Newspapers:
WSJV Elkhart, Indiana (full power digital)
Display Channel 28 / Actual Channel 28 (was 58)
28-1 Fox
28-2 RTV
28-3 this TV
